The ethical and political challenges of the Anthropocene demand urgent and interdisciplinary reflection particularly given the challenges posed by climate change. This volume brings together leading scholars to examine the moral responsibilities and societal duties required to confront a rapidly transforming world-one in which environmental and climate risks remain deeply and unevenly distributed.

Grounded in the normative framework of environmental justice, the book explores what it means to ensure fair and equitable exposure to environmental harms and benefits globally. Originating from the international conference Ethical-Political Dilemmas of the Anthropocene, held at UNISINOS (Brazil) in June 2025, this collective work expands the event's central objective: to investigate the moral and political duties necessary to face the climate emergency through a broad, interdisciplinary lens.

The contributions emerge from seven keynote conferences with invited debates and three thematic panels dedicated to the core challenges of our time: "Challenges of Climate Justice," "Virtues and Climate Emergency," and "Duties, Vulnerabilities and Climate Change." Together, they illuminate the complexity of the environmental crisis by engaging with diverse theoretical approaches-Hans Jonas's ethics of responsibility, ecofeminism, environmental justice theory, ecological thought, virtue ethics, deontological models, human rights, and the philosophical study of vulnerabilities.

This book invites readers to grapple with the profound ethical-political dilemmas of the Anthropocene and to envision the responsibilities we share in shaping a just and sustainable future.
